Red Bull have dominated F1 since the start of the ꦐnew regulations in 2022.

Last year, they remained unbeaten at 21 of the 22 races - an unprec🔥edented spell of dominance.

While lead driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen put together a remarkable campaign, teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez struggled considerably. 

Consequently, there have been s🌠erious calls for Red Bull to replace Pere🐟z in a bid to make the sport more competitive.

Perez’s contract is up at the end of 2024 - a💝nd over half of the grid are in a similar position to the Mexican with their contract ✱expiring.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Horner reiterated Red Bull’s positioꩲn that they will want to keep Perez “if heཧ does well”.

“2024 is a big year. A lot✤ꦛ of drivers' contracts are coming to a close. We've got great talent in our own stable. Of course the car is very attractive for other drivers to want to be in,” he said.

“There's been a little bit of that [drivers saying they would drive at Red Bull for free], but there's no guarantees of anythinꦏg. 

“Checo is our driver. If he does well, we'l🔥l want to keep him for 2025, but it's all about how he performs in relati🍨on to his teammate."

Horner has called on Perez to improve his qualifying performances, particularly as he 🎃expects the grid to "converge" in 2024.

"Checo is a very capable racer and being Max's team-mate is a very tough gig," he added. "I think h♒e has shown real mental strength to be able t🥃o cope with that. The area he needs to focus on is Saturday; making sure that his average qualifying is a lot closer to Max.

"We need him starting further up the grid, particularly if the 🙈grid is going to converge. We can't afford to have a lot of ꦺcars between him and Max."
